Answer:
E = 27 J
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of a kitten is 1.5 kg
Initially, it was at a height of 1.8 m refrigerator and finally jumps to a 0.9 m height counter.
We need to find the kitten's gravitational potential energy on top of the counter. Potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It can be given by :
[tex]E=mgh[/tex]
g is acceleration due to gravity
[tex]E=1.5\ kg\times 10\ m/s^2\times 1.8\ m\\E=27\ J[/tex]
So, the kitten's gravitational potential energy on top of the counter is 27 J.
